After watching Family Feud and Family Feud in Spanish back-to-back, I have to say that I like the one that I only half understand better.

TSA Pre
I was recently randomly selected (#racialprofiling) to use TSA’s prescreening line at the airport. I was instructed to not take off my jacket, leave my computer in my bag, not worry about anything in my pockets, and keep my shoes on. It was like being transported back to sweet sweet 1999.
Happy Holidays!
To everyone that’s not offended if I wish you “Happy Holidays,” happy holidays!

Today I Learned: Seinfeld Edition
Seinfeld has been my favorite show since its original airing. But I didn’t know until now that this is real:
The best part of the story: the fake guy helps the real guy buy back the company!

The funniest home videos America has to offer
While United is fixing their plane, the flight attendants were kind enough to put some entertainment on the TVs! Ooh, it’s “America’s Funniest Home Videos”! This is perfect, because I want to know what happens in the funniest home videos from all across America. A couple of things I know in advance. America is a big place. There’s like 300 million people here, so this is a great pool to draw from. Also, some super funny people live in America. There’s this other show, “Louie,” which is all about an American guy Louie CK, and it’s a funny show. Also, I went to a comedy show where this woman Chelsea Peretti and this other guy Aziz Ansari told a whole bunch of funny stories and thoughts and things. And those are just three Americans. So doing some simple math… Holy cow, by taking advantage of ALL of America, “America’s Funniest Home Videos” could be a MILLION times more funny than Louie CK, Chelsea Peretti, and Aziz Ansari!
So what funny things have been happening in the home videos taken by Americans? Let’s go to the video tape!
- Middle aged men fall over
- Men get hit with stuff in various places
- Kids fall over
- Animals
- Boys get hit in various places
- Kids make faces
- Old people fall over
- Pizza box dominoes
And there we have it! The funniest things captured on video by Americans! So what have we learned? People, nearly exclusively male, getting hurt without bleeding is funny. The most interesting thing in America is setting up pizza boxes like dominoes. Oh, and America is all white people. I think the old song said it best, “America, America, this is you!”
How I know Hawaii must be awesome
Prodigious use of the word “only” in two recent conversations, that’s how.
Conversation #1:
“Do you have any plans for summer?”
“My family is going to Hawaii next week.”
“Wow! You must be excited. How long are you going for?”
“Oh, only 10 days.”
“Only 10 days?!”
“Well…” [trails off]
Conversation #2:
“You must be happy that the semester is almost over.”
“Yeah, and I’m leaving for Hawaii on Friday!”
“Cool! How long are you going for?”
“Oh, only 6 nights.”
“Only 6 nights?!”
“Well…” [trails off]
